Orchid and her OOth!

[hibiscusmile]

My first Orchid Ooth! whopeeeepeee! It is not a good pic, but it is the first ooth from this female. Cannot wait for it to hatch, counting the seconds, minutes, hours, hour and a half,,,,..... :lol:

That is awesome. How hard is it to breed these?

 

[mrblue]

hooray! hopefully they wont be so rare in the US soon.

 

[hibiscusmile]

Well this is the 6th female and the only ooth! I had three before and none of them worked. Two died from heat stroke! and the other was egg bound. This set of three, one died after eating 4 males, and the last two I have gotten this one to mate, and the other, as far as I can tell not yet, I am going to try her again this week, but I have just one male left so it will either work or it won't. Time will tell.

Yay! Glad you got something! It's probably worth $500 right now.

Great job! Maybe I can find some room in my bug room (aka tiny bed room lol) for some orchids. (But it wont be easy )

 

[hibiscusmile]

almost 3 good weeks, I was starting to worry that she was holding out for a lounge chair and a pool! :lol:

 

[mantidsandgeckos]

They already hatched right? Since you have some for sale now.
